Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Singleton: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Nicholas Singleton slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at the 192nd overall pick. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The back end got a real overhaul.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 16 they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in Round 2, Pick 15, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in slot 81 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
The board fumbled Sebastian Castro all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Circle this one: Jake Majors at No. 151 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in the 192nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
